What we did

All Students were present with instruments although Honesty and Dominic had to call for instruments to be dropped off.
  • Clarinet and Trumpets: Assessment of line 7
    • Dominic is playing right notes in good time but missing the E partial; Coordinate airstream with embouchure to establish the right partial.
    • Clarinets still need to establish a better embouchure to establish more centered tone quality; need more practice reading the notes.
  • Saxes: Assessment of line 17
    • Notes and fingerings are OK; Air stream is not continuous right now leading to squeaks, missed notes and bad articulation; We discussed strategies to play with a consistent air stream so that their control over sound and articulation improves

What to do
  • Saxes: Meet performance targets on line 17 and 23
  • Brass and Clarinets: Develop performance targets for 16 and 17

Looking Forward
  • Begin performance targets on line 17, 23 and 25.
